FAQs: Room Booking

SAU Library has a variety of private rooms and conference rooms available for booking.  You can book these rooms on our website, at the library's front desk, or via QR code outside the room itself.  You can also book a room right here!

Once you've booked your room, you'll go to the library's front desk and check out a room key using your BeeCard.  When your reservation is over, you'll return the key to the front desk.  

Q: How far ahead can I book a room?
A: You can book up to 7 days ahead.

Q: What if I forget when my booking ends?
A: We'll send you an email reminder 15-minutes before your booking ends.

Q: Can I stay in the room after my booking is over (if no one else has booked the room)?
A: Sure, that's OK.

Q: If I arrive, say, half-an-hour before my booking can I get in the room early?
A: In most cases that shouldn't be a problem.    

Q: Can I still get a room the old way?
A: You can still come to the library's front desk and see if there's a room available.  If a room is available, our student workers will help you make a booking and then the room is yours.

Q: Who can book a room?
A: SAU students, staff, and faculty can book a room.

Q: Can SAU departments or offices book a room?
A: Sure.

Q: How long can I book a room?
A: Up to 3 hours at a time.

Q: Can I book the same room back-to-back?  
A: No.  You can, however, book a different room on another floor immediately after your first booking ends. 

Q: Can I make a recurring booking (say, for instance, the same room Monday-Friday at 9:00AM)?
A: Not at this time.
